Sometimes the quote is from a cult hit that may not have the ubiquity of a more popular production. Buzzwords or phrases arise from these classics, knowledge of which gains one admission to the “club”. Such is the case with today’s entry.

If you ever hear someone walk into a room and say, “that rug really ties the room together”, it’s highly likely that they are not so much paying a compliment to the decorator as they are giving a wink and a nod to the Coen Brothers’ homage to bowling as a way of life, “The Big Lebowski”. Actually, there’s really a lot more to it than just bowling, believe me. Maybe you really need to see the movie to better understand the context (not for the prim and proper viewer, mind you), but when you hear the line, you just know it’s an instant quotable that only those in the club will appreciate.

More to come from the Dude.
